Also known as contrology, Pilates focuses on strengthening your core muscles (comprising both abdominal and back muscles) and increasing your postural and muscular strength through low-impact exercises. The practice lengthens major muscle groups in a balanced fashion, thereby rehabilitating existing injuries and preventing future ones. Pilates also improves joint mobility as it focuses on proper biomechanics.

The GYROTONIC® method comprises circular, spiralling movements performed fluidly on specialised equipment. This class is primarily conducted using the GYROTONIC Expansion System®, a system of weighted pulleys and rotational discs, building balance, core strength, and flexibility while enhancing joint mobility and stimulating circulation. The multiplanar movement patterns closely resemble movement patterns of everyday life and reduce the risk of degenerative joint mobility conditions such as osteoarthritis (arthrosis).

This programme taps on Susan's classical ballet training and fuses Ballet fundamentals Pilates, and GYROTONIC® principles. Unlike trendy barre classes, Ballet Barre at équilibre is conducted at a slower pace and in accordance to the classical ballet syllabus, developing strength and long, lean muscles through isometric contractions. We utilise a range of motions to target different muscle fibres, focusing on the extension and elongation of the entire body by strengthening the spine, knee, hip, and ankle joints.
